Hi,

I have several questions about kernprof:

1)   I have installed v2.4.0-test11 kernel to my PC, and applied patch for
kern profiling, and recomplied the kernel. Kernel was sucessfully rebooted;
/dev/profile device was created as major 192, minor 0. When I run kernprof
command it complained " /dev/profile: No such device". I followed the
instruction posted on web.

2)   If I run the most recent v2.4.0 kernel, do I need to download the
corresponing patch, or it's OK to use any patch for v2.4.0-testxx?

Thanks
Shirley Ma
